Winner: Sun Basket Packaging and delivery Kim Wetzel/Digital Trendsīlue Apron delivers throughout the contiguous United States, and most plans ship for free, except for the smaller plan (the two-meal, two-person plan), which includes an $8 shipping cost. Sun Basket even offers lunch, breakfast, and snacks. The meal box has 18 weekly recipes to choose from, and you can mix and match across the full menu, regardless of your Classic plan. Sun Basket offers a wide variety of different meal plans, including Carb-Conscious, Paleo, Mediterranean, Gluten-free, Lean and Clean, Vegan, Quick and Easy, Vegetarian, Diabetes Friendly, Pescatarian, and Chef’s Choice. Blue Apron also occasionally brings back favorite recipes from previous weeks that are well-liked by customers. You have the option to choose which recipes come in your meal boxes each week, and there are about six to eight different unique options to choose from, depending on your plan.

The service does not, however, have specific meals or plans for those with food allergies (gluten, nuts, etc.).

If you have specific food preferences, there are options for those who don’t eat fish or red meat, for instance. The meal box company is even starting to offer Beyond Meat products, such as plant-based patties. Sun Basket also charges a weekly shipping fee, but shipping is usually free with your first order.īlue Apron offers a vegetarian plan, and the company has also teamed up with Weight Watchers to offer a “Freestyle” plan that includes healthy recipe options. However with the Classic menu, the cost per meal is $11 for four meal per week, $12 for three meal per week, and $13 for the two-meal-per-week plans. The price per meal on the Family menu is $11 per meal, regardless to the number of meals per week you choose. Sun Basket offers both a “Classic” menu for two, three, or four people, and a “Family” menu for four people. Sun Basket’s lowest cost per meal plan is for the four meals per week plan or for the family plan, in which case the cost per meal is $11 ($3.50 higher than Blue Apron). Sun Basket is similar to Blue Apron in that the cost is less per meal when you order more meals, and the cost is higher when you order less meals per week.
